Some time ago, my friend, Electric Firefly lamented

about losing her mojo.  Well here I am, just minding

my own business when I found it!  Although she would

probably prefer I hadn't found it for a few more months.

Mojo

A Seasoning Sauce recipe from Cuban Home Cooking by Jane Cossio.

3     tbs pure Spanish olive oil, heated

2     tbs finely chopped onion

2     garlic cloves, minced

1/2   tsp ground oregano

1/4   tsp cumin

       Dash ground bay leaves

       Dash black pepper

1/8  tsp salt

1     tbs orange juice

1     tbs lime juice

2     tbs water

1     tbs Sherry

1/2  tsp vinegar

      Mix the onion and garlic, along with the spices, salt and pepper in a bowl, and then add to a pan with the heated olive oil.  Cook just until the onion becomes translucent and then add juice, water, wine and vinegar and simmer about 5 minutes.  Allow the Mojo to cool slightly before serving.

Yields 1/2 cup

I am assuming that this would be great added to beans and rice or stew or used anywhere you would normally use a hotsauce at the table or as a topper for baked fish or chicken or even a marinade for pork and beef.
